Mr Ekwobi has been fantastic with everything with me from start to finish. Super happy with everything he has done for me, I cant rate highly enough!
Highly recommended Mr Ekwobi! A seamless journey from initial consultation to surgery and post op. During initial consultation my options were clearly explained to me. Once I had made an informed decision, I then booked my surgery to my convenience. On the day of surgery, I met with Mr Ekwobi and the procedure was again explained fully and all my queries were answered. During the post op follow up the after care was explained and advice given re healing and recovery. Very happy with the results. Would definitely recommend.
Mr Ekwobi and his team (particularly Rebecca Bradder) were so professional and reassuring but also very kind and caring and treated me with the utmost respect throughout the whole process.
